Hulu’s upcoming limited series Looking For Alaska has rounded out its cast with six new faces, including a Serpent and a Disney Channel alum.

According to Deadline, the streaming service announced on Thursday the casting of Riverdale‘s Jordan Connor, Girl Meets World‘s Uriah Shelton, Denny Love (Empire), Jay Lee (American Vandal), Sofia Vassilieva (Supergirl), and Landry Bender (Best Friends Whenever) in its eight-episode limited series based on John Green’s novel of the same name.

Bender is slated to take on the role of Sara, The Colonel’s girlfriend. Vassilieva will portray Lara, a cute, shy and sweet girl from Romania, who develops a crush on Miles.

Best known for portraying Cory’s little brother and Riley’s uncle Josh in Girl Meets World, Shelton will take on the role of Longwell, “a handsome, rich and entitled jock (aka a “Weekday Warrior” douchebag) at the school. A rich kid, he despises The Colonel and all of his non-jock friends, making their lives as miserable as possible.”
